| I get these compile errors whenever I am trying to use a trigger that tries to assign multiple words to a variable:
[string "Trigger: "]:1: ')' expected near 'a'
This is the regex I am matching to:
^(.*) tells you \'of (.*) which is in the general area\'$
And the match text is like this:
Questgiver tells you 'of Inside a large tent which is in the general area'
Then in the trigger code it's doing this:
SetVariable ("quest_room", %2)
What am I doing wrong? If I do it correctly, quest_room should == Inside a large tent
But the compile error comes up when the trigger finds a match.

| SetVariable ("quest_room", "%2")
Quote the %2, otherwise the expansion happens before the compile and the scripting engine ends up looking for 3
variables named Inside, the, tent;
i.e. SetVariable ("quest_room", Inside the room)
instead of one string "Inside the tent"
i.e. SetVariable ("quest_room", "Inside the tent") | | Top |
